Ability to block blogs via API about docs HOT 10 CLOSED

I think this is a great idea, I'll see what we can do!

from docs.

Awesome! I think it'd be good if there was a bulk API too, e.g., block in batches;

e.g.,

POST api.tumblr.com/v2/user/block   { url: string }
POST api.tumblr.com/v2/user/unblock   { url: string }

POST api.tumblr.com/v2/user/blocks   { urls: string[] }
POST api.tumblr.com/v2/user/unblocks   { urls: string[] }

That way if someone sets up a new service to manage blocks, we're not sending N requests to block, but N/max-block-count.

Also curiously related: why is there no /user/followers endpoint?

from docs.

Ah, alrighty. So, I guess I was going with a /user/blocks which is just like that /user/following endpoint; but all good!

Latest commit now includes the Blocks API as it currently exists: b3b3b38

Yeah, this is good feedback, thanks. I can't guarantee when this'll happen, but I'll track it here and on the Changes blog.

🤔 I'm not sure what you mean. Users don't have followers, blogs have followers, which is why there are blog followers and blog followings endpoints.

Adding Arabic is very important.
In addition to adding friends, you should make a list.

Best to create separate issues for those ideas, instead of co-opting this issue for them.

Yeah, the /user/following endpoint is kind of just an alias for /blog/your-primary-blog.tumblr.com/following for convenience. Your "user" is not following any blogs and it doesn't have followers, your primary blog does. It's a subtle but important distinction.
